Tomorrow is St. Patricks Day, and thousands of people here in Orlando will be celebrating the luck of the Irish with green-tinged festivities and raucous parties. Depending on where you go, however, the celebrations can sometimes get a little too out of control, especially for those who are on vacation in Orlando with family in tow. So what do you do if you want to show your Irish pride but want a casual and family-friendly St. Patty’s celebration? You visit Walt Disney World, of course, which is a fun place to celebrate any event, especially Ireland’s national holiday.

First, a great place to stop by during St. Patrick’s Day for a casual dinner or a bit of live entertainment is Ragland Road Irish Pub, located in Downtown Disney. This charming and laid-back restaurant perfectly evokes a classic neighborhood Irish pub with its custom-made furnishings and delicately carved woodwork straight from Ireland. In addition, Ragland Road’s classic Irish fare is savory and soothing, with dishes like creamy colcannon soup, fish n’ chips, and beef stew with a touch of Guinness. Irish celebrity chef Kevin Donlan heads up the kitchen, and you’ll be transported back to the Emerald Isles with every bite.

The entertainment at Ragland Road’s is particularly fun – every night, the pub lights up with dancing and live music from a foot-stomping Irish band. You just might find yourself participating in a jig if you’re not careful! And with a strictly enforced no-smoking policy and a seating area especially set aside for parties with small children, Ragland’s is a decent environment for a family dinner. But if you come with friends, you’ll find that the pints are fresh and plentiful.

On St. Patrick’s Day, the restaurant should be particularly lively as it usually holds a fairly big celebration every year. And revelers will find the rest of Pleasure Island will also be turning green with “Sham Rock ‘n’ Roll” festivities, featuring live music by Irish artists, leprechauns, and green specialty beverages.

Before or after dinner, stopping by the parks is a must, of course, and we especially recommend Epcot, where you’ll be sure to see plenty of other Irish Disney fans decked out in green. Best yet, if you didn’t arrive to the park decked out in your holiday gear, you can stock up at the United Kingdom pavilion’s shops with St. Patrick’s Day Mickey shirts, plush leprechaun Mickey’s, and St. Patrick’s Day themed Mickey mugs. St. Patty’s Day merchandise can also be found at Ye Old Christmas Shoppe in Magic Kingdom.

When it comes to celebrating St. Patrick’s Day or any other special holiday or event, you’ll be sure to have a blast at Walt Disney World, which has a park, attraction, and restaurant that’s perfect for every occasion. Start preparing for your St. Patrick’s Day festivities by getting Walt Disney World tickets from OrlandoFunTickets.com, and you’ll be one lucky theme park-goer.
